Padua is one of the oldest cities in Italy. In ancient times, Padova achieved a victory over the Spartans before it was conquered by the Romans and received the town charter. In the Middle Ages, Padua was an independent city state, like many of its neighbouring cities, but was ruled by a Podesta of the emperor.

In 1405 the city finally fell to Venice, in 1797 to Napoleon, and finally to Austria. With one of the oldest universities in the world officially founded on 1222, Padua was always an intellectual and artistic centre, wich brought many art treasures to the city and made it a hotbed of revolutionary ideas.

SPECIAL ISSUE

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement

Authors of papers presented at this conference and within the scope of the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement may submit a technically extended version of their papers to this journal.No deadline is given.

The authors of the best papers presented at the Workshop, addressing recent advances in metrology methods, new instrumentation and sensors for aerospace, will be invited to submit their work to this special issue of the AESS magazine.Submission deadline is July 30, 2017.

Authors of papers presented at this conference and within the scope of Measurement Journal may submit a technically extended version to a Special Issue of this journal.

Instructions for submission:The submission website for this journal is located at: http://ees.elsevier.com/meas/default.aspTo ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the special issue you are editing, it is important that authors select “SI: MetroAeroSpace” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

Following the success of the three editions of IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for AeroSpace (MetroAeroSpace), it was considered convenient to promote a fourth edition of this event, which aims at reinforcing and supporting the collaborations among people working in developing instrumentation and measurement methods for aerospace.

This new edition will keep pursuing the state of the art and practice started over the past years.

Attention is paid, but not limited to, new technology for metrology-assisted production in aerospace industry, aircraft component measurement, sensors and associated signal conditioning for aerospace, and calibration methods for electronic test and measurement for aerospace.

The program is designed to raise the interest of a wide group of researchers, operators and decision-makers from metrology and aerospace fields, by presenting the most innovative solutions in this field from the scientific and technological point of view.
